Could not resolve host: developer.nrel.gov #208

Closed jacksontong closed 3 years ago

jacksontong commented 3 years ago

We are getting this error while making request to NREL. The url is https://developer.nrel.gov/api/pvwatts/v5.json?&api_key={api_key}&system_capacity=1&azimuth=21&tilt=20&lat=-37.8198366&lon=145.1766079&array_type=1&module_type=0&losses=14&dataset=intl&timeframe=hourly&gcr=&inv_eff=96&radius=500

It seems only happen on my server. The link works fine on my browser and I can access https://developer.nrel.gov/. However it always throws same error on my server

curl https://developer.nrel.gov/
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: developer.nrel.gov
ping developer.nrel.gov
ping: developer.nrel.gov: Name or service not known

I can confirm that I'm also experiencing the same issue.

@jacksontong, @aayushofdesk: Can you provide any other debug details, like what DNS servers you're using and the output of dig developer.nrel.gov? All of the external DNS checks I've performed come back successful, so I'm not sure what is going on here. Thanks!

@jacksontong: Strange that dig resolves the address, but curl does not. I'm sort of taking wild stabs in the dark, but I tried changing one thing with DNS, so could you try with curl again? Thanks for helping to debug!

jacksontong commented 3 years ago

@GUI Thanks for your help, it's working on my server.

Sorry I wasn't much help as it was too late. But thank you for the quick fix, it works now!
